That is the beauty of the Internet one doesn’t have to wait any longer for the “journalists” to report what is going on, one can inform oneself as much or as little, or as well or as poorly as one desires. The instantaneous transfer of communication and information is transformational and the old power regime is already kicking and screaming because I think that they sense that something massive is in the air and they are battening down the hatches for all it’s worth. The full onslaught by the Koch brothers and their moneyed political machine is a prime example. The OWS movement is an experiment in direct democracy that with the interconnectedness of the Internet generation may have more of a chance to actually work than ever before. Either way, it is exciting because we have come to an impasse with our old industrialized society and I think that the young generation is chafing at the limitations that the top-bottom model forces on them by virtue of how policies have been implemented over the past 4 decades through lobbying and financial interference in our political process.
